Eagle Wings

INTRO: This Christian devotional poem looks at the verse Isaiah 40:31a. It explored the word ‘wait’. ‘Once we have prayed for help or guidance on something, how do we wait on God?’ How does waiting strengthen us? Then, how do we soar on wings like eagles?

In my interpretation of the feature image, the lady is looking at the eagle with a longing to soar like an eagle. The eagle is looking directly at the lady, and it is flying toward her to land beside the lady to invite her to ‘come and soar like an eagle’. The lady is not frightened of the eagle as her expression is calm and poised. Beverley Joy

Isaiah 40:31a “But those who WAIT on the LORD shall renew their strength, they will SOAR on wings like eagles.”

PODCAST – Eagle Wings

Wait upon the LORD…
Not in sorrow, anxiety, and stress

Not in fear and worry about what if’s

Nor impatient towards God’s timing

But wait on God in hopeful, quietly excited anticipation.

Wait upon the LORD…
As when waiting for the sun to rise over the horizon

Waiting for the tide to come in and swirl around your feet

Waiting to open a surprise gift

Waiting to hold a newborn babe.

And He shall renew your strength…
As when having a drink of cool water when you are parched

A hug and words of encouragement from a caring friend
